/scaly/ - Scaly GeneralPost lewd reptiles and discuss scaly stuff, male or female is fine. Dragons, wyverns, dinosaurs, lizards, snakes, and reptile-folk such as kobolds and Argonians are welcome, on top of other things with scales like sharks as well. Anthros, ferals and human/scaly are allowed, but please, no monstergirls. As some may take a few creative liberties on their creations, do inquire if there's a particular edge case you're unsure about.==============>Lurking or just reading the FAQ before posting is encouraged.>Anatomy arguments never go anywhere, don't bother instigating one.>No extreme fetishes, please.

>>83777505>ToTTCan you give examples for snout shapes? I guess I have issues with dog snouts, the sharp drop from below eyes into a horisontal protrusion. I like slanted snouts way more.Well illustrated by how horrendously ugly argonians are in the Oblivion remake when compared to the cute original Oblivion argonians.
Have you guys tried Dragon Kisser? it's a FREE short game on steam about seducing and kissing a female dragon:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4681880/Dragon_Kisser/
>tottSlightly rectangular so they look goofy.>>83777751>examples for snout shapes?We had this question last year with a diagram but the archive is broken atm.Basically it boils down to>oval>rectangular>triangle>Smoothed triangle
>>83777505size matters
mmm...feesg
>>83777837I'd say there's more to it than just basic shapes. Is the snoot long or short? Is it blunt, pointy, or bulbous? How wide is it? Does it have a horn? Ridges? Pronounced nostrils?As for me, I don't even know why, but I particularly enjoy this kind of flat topped snout with pronounced upper edges.
>>83765465Found the source (Sono Mono. Nochi ni...), that image anon made was an edit, the dragon immediately humanforms in the actual manga.

>>83778365>I'm guessing it's dragonXdragon too?The chapter is about two dragons making up after a supposed cheating incident, it's why they are heading to town to visit a restaurant to make up, so maybe?Not going to look into it. Humanform shit is not worth anyones time or attention.

>>83777769I added it to my inventory a few days ago, but haven't played it yet.>>83778528Yes.
>>83777505>tottI do not have a definitive preference concerning the overall shnoot shape as it depends on the derg species, but I do find it endearing if they have bone teeth(?) on the upper or lower jaw like picrel. Idk if there's an actual term for that, i just think it looks cute, kinda like a snaggletooth.

>>83774884>Not posting the colour version
>>83778998I loved his show, and the chinese makes him even funnier. It's one of those languages that you just cannot take seriously, like dutch or french.
>>83773249>Wings of Fire was better when it was an unintentional chud book series. Racist icewings and nightwings, mudwings and rainwings being living racial stereotypesYeah I liked that. With Mudwings was extra funny because Mudwings are described as dumb big strong dragons whose only family are their siblings because female Mudwings just go to an annual mass orgy to get plapped by random dragons in the dark (sometimes not even Mudwings) and then abandon the eggs to their luck, the first one to hatch is the one in charge of the others. I chuckled when Umber said in book 16 that Burn's plan in book 5 was to use the Mudwing army as a zerg rush to try to overload the magic ice wall.Another thing is how the Icewings despite being portrayed as irrational gigachuds, were 100% right about Nightwings.In Arctic's Winglet is revealed that the Nightwings convened an alliance conference with the Icewings but the whole conference was a lie because their real plan was to get the Icewing prince to plap a Nightwing who was brought as a carnal bait to get magic genes. And then when this went wrong they brought the prince himself and even when they already had two Nightwing dragonets with magic genes they refused to hand over the prince because they wanted to become the only tribe with magic. Also the fact they had to run away to a volcanic island implies that every single tribe kicked them out from their kingdoms.>queen coral being a giga whoreTo be fair Coral, while being a batshit insane bitch, wasn't promiscuous, she just wanted a daughter. She mated with Gill and later had a clutch but then the statue destroyed the female eggs and she had to try again. All of Coral's offspring are from Gill.

>>83780744It's already an interspecies game, so I don't think it would be an issue for anyone. I like HMOFE myself, but I'm more scratching my head at the choice of species.Really? A cock?
>>83780812>Really? A cock?You just literally proved my point dudeWith a rooster, a cock, if you will, you already have a solidly defined character that justifies its own existence. If it were a human, it would have to... look a certain way or be subject to modern day scrutiny.Hell, it being a white-feathered rooster and not a black-feathered hen is already pushing it.
>>83780812>Really? A cock?The game is literally about convincing a dragon to kiss your cock. I assure you the creature choice was deliberate.Pic unrelated.

happy TF Tuesday!
First Dwarf (a base-builder / action game where the MC is a dwarf in a mech) got an update, now, your small dragon friend, who is controlled by the second player in co-op, also got a mech. Yes, a dragon piloting a mech! I wish there was a bigger image available, but you can kinda see the little green-yellow goober sitting in the mech on the right.(side note: I don't know if this game is good or not, I just keep an eye on it because it has a dragon, and because I played too much Deep Rock Galactic)Dragon Hop also got a large QoL update: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2650290/view/693139048964818004

According to MH this is the face of the ideal dragon. This species alone has the classification of "Origin Dragon."
>>83785954I'd prefer a thinner jaw, and I don't like the dog nose.But it's not horrible.
>>83784770also the source post has a great wifevern
>>83785822>What have they even been up to for the last like, 8 months? RITF must be deader than discoAccording to CringeDragons himself, they were busy developing the game, but AFAIK, that is a dubious claim. See, before the lockdown, his dev team resigned, they said they'd stay until the new demo is done (apparently rewritten in godot), but it was never released. I think the devs expected it'd be ready Q1 this year. So I think they just left around that time anyway. But they did leave Cringe with all the outlines he could use to continue development. For the better or worse. He's definitely too autistic to just drop it.After that, I found evidence on the kickstarter of a backer-only discord server. So what happened in that 8 months was likely visible there. I was genuinely considering making a pledge, just to see what is happening in that zoo, but I decided that $20 would be better spent wiping my ass with it.Also, there is the drama archive discord server. I didn't dare rejoining it yet (I was there temporarily a year ago), but some CWCki level autists documented everything that was happening there. If they have a mole in the backer server, then it has all the details of the past 8 months too. I can drop the link to it if you want to peak inside, but in general you should not, for several reasons...There was also some very minor update to the existing demo (not the "new demo" I was referring to) a month ago maybe.That is more-or-less what I know.

The format is not something you can really find somewhere else, and it has a semi-serious community that does give decent writing advice (at least in comparison to fanfiction sites where the reception is far more mixed).

it’s how july so you can’t post gay dragons anymore
>>83785384it's a toss-up between two of them for me. one up from the bottom left, though i'd prefer it without the forest of nose horns (which i usually dislike), and the one two above it, though i'd prefer that one with a simpler pattern and more defined neck scales.never was much of a fan of exposed teeth (lipless scalies are less kissable), and i'm a sucker for smooth, angular snoots.a nice brow/neck can really carry a shout for me, though - for example i quite like the one in the third row from the top, third column from the left, despite it being unable to kiss and locking its tongue in a tooth prison
>>83787734i like the second one more. it's got really interesting perspective and shows front and center what's happening in the scene. it's easier to parse visually at a glance, at least to me.

>>83788860Take that noodle to the vet>>83789946Did the artist intend that to be something else than jizz? Or is it an edit, where the original had water, and someone else made it white?
>>83792473Yes, that is the main reason why I made that version, Domingo was small on the first, making it difficult to read what is happening. The perspective making it more intersting is a nice bonus. One other edge v2 has is it looks more deliberate on Luciana's behalf, while v1 could be read as a prank.V1 is more cute though, I think, because Luciana holds her hand like a puppy sleeping on its back, and because Domingo is standing on her belly. It's also more size-accurate, while V2 "cheats", she's shrunk there, plus the perspective isn't entirely correct there either. If it was, and Luciana was bigger, her head would be too far away, and the perspective would make it too small on the canvas. Also, V1 puts more focus on Luciana.Anyway, thanks for the feedback! Now I'm slightly leaning towards v2.>>83791240So I'm NOT the first to draw her then. Honestly, it's for the best that someone has beaten me to the finish line, the sad thing would be if nobody drew her. Looking at the player count, people are discovering this game as we speak, so we might get more content later. Once finished, I'll also post my drawing in a few communities to help that process. And before someone would say those player numbers are still low, just consider that the shorter a game is, the lower the chance that two are playing it at the same time.
>>83794159 (me)I'll have to draw Luciana in the knife cat meme format too (like I did with the steam sale dragon), with the knife being replaced with a rose held by DomingoAaargh, I have too much to draw! I'll finish what I started first
>Sprite fixesThe first one I notices was Sarah's awkward sprite that looked a bit well... awkward. The head seemed slightly too small and the eyes slightly too big so this might be better.

Has anyone here hated a story so fucking much due to how bad it is, but even while being bad, it has some interesting ideas that are wasted because the author is so incredibly dogshit at writing that you want to rewrite it to fix it? Or is it just me?

>>83796978Roses in the Flames has fantastically terrible writing, and served as a sort of negative inspiration for me. It's one of the main reason why I draw dragons so much nowadays. I wouldn't go as far as trying to fix that game though.Also, you just described how Snoot Game came to be.
>>83796978Yes
>>83792614they're amphibians, retard, not reptiles.still cute tho.
>>83796978Scaly stories or just in general? And do you mean specifically "dogshit at writing" as bad prose/plot/characters, or would you include fetishes and/or political ideas into it?If both fit, I droped Iain Banks "Culture" series on Player of The Game because of the mandatory 10 page breaks to preach about how the good guys are good and the bad guys are bad. Liked everything else about it.

Probably a stretch to call it a snoot, but I absolutely adore on-model Vipers. The flat face and sharp features are supposed to make them look more monstrous, but somehow it ends up being all the more attractive to me. It's a shame that so many artists tend to cutify the spess sneks. I get why they do it, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
does size matter?
>>83800294I personally only put the flat faces into the Viper folder, all other snakes are just cosplaying and go into the generic snake folder.
>>83800483I should probably start doing that, too. Doesn't help that my tastes have slowly shifted over the years and I've never once reorganized my folders.
even nice scalies can be scary…
>>83800466YES!!!!!!
I jumped onto the GTA 6 girl bandwagon by drawing Shark Girl doing the pose. This is the sketch so far. Honestly, I felt a little bit intimidated because drawing front-facing shark furries is hard, then I remembered, I could had the head do any other pose.

And as someone who isn't inclined to catch more than the pals I actually want to befriend... Rather detrimental to the whole experience.

The main thing I've been slogging through is removing the player name, but that's almost done so I can go onto the other more spot fixes.At some point I'm going to have to come up with a name for us and the group of people all working on this? Everyone I have written down for credits so far is an -anon, all I got is Draganons, but /scaly/ is more than just dragons and it's kind of too close to Cavemanon in my head plus it kinda sounds shit. If anyone's got a better idea throw it out thereI'm not going to deny it if anyone asks if we're 4chan autists making a VN I'd just rather not send them here directly referencing /scaly/ because a little gatekeeping is healthy

>>83785853>long mouthfunnily enough from a biomechanical perspective, longer and thinner generally means less bite force and eats smaller, jumpier prey. big prey needs bite torque more than bite speed. the one with the "beak" upper jaw (looks more like colored scales to me, see the upper lip) has a very "this will FUCK you up if it bites you" jawline.your pic is probably close to what it would look like from the front; it's a bit t-rex like. they had wide faces with robust jaw muscle attachment and tall, wide, reinforced snouts relative to other theropods for the purpose of crushing bone.>blind spotremember, from any angle you can see both pupils, the animal has binocular vision on you. if you can see at least one pupil, the animal can see you. a common dragon face would probably have about a 90-120 degree forward cone of binocular vision (similar to but a bit less than humans), but they'd also probably have a 240+ degree full field of vision (much better than a human).

>>83796978A Dream of Wings And Flame: The magic system. I quite liked how it was done and enjoyed reading about the 'tism 'bold having breakthroughs with it. Only being able to use magic of elements you are intimately familiar is a terrific idea. It's a shame so much else around it is hot garbage, becoming intolerable after the first book.Draka: I like the ideas behind it and hoarding people by accident. I'm not a fan of homosexuals though so I eventually just got sick of it.The Dragon And The Author: The whole thing about coming clean to the fictional character that they're fictional. I was hyped for that and thought it was going to be the big thing going forward. Lo and behold, that plot point gets shoved aside for fucking 2/3rds of a whole 'nother book in favor of city building. At least it did eventually come back, but holy shit, the ending of the first botched the intro of the second.And of course, pic related. Humanforming will never be acceptable. The issues that it supposedly solves are ones you made for the purpose of justifying it!

>>83803681>a common dragon face would probably have about a 90-120 degree forward cone of binocular vision (similar to but a bit less than humans), but they'd also probably have a 240+ degree full field of vision (much better than a human).True, but having a wider cone of vision usually also goes hand-in-hand with lower depth perception, especially from the sides. A narrow cone of vision, on the other hand, usually gives you a more telescoping range - it's the difference between a shotgun and a sniper rifle. As is such, dragons are probably fantastic close to mid-range hunters, but they're not pulling the whole "hawk can see a mouse from over a mile away" thing. Of course, that doesn't mean a dragon wouldn't be able to SMELL its prey from that far, but in terms of visually acquiring their target, you'll see them coming long before they see you.
>>83804674>>83804556How THE FUCK did Swordfish kill a grown dragon? He had to have gotten stuck in it's throat while it was eating him!
dont move...
>>83804708The power of friendship. No, really.
>>83804708>How THE FUCK did Swordfish kill a grown dragon?With kindness.
>>83804708He was nice to an ice dragon, and made it feel warm and tingly inside...to the point where the warmth melted it, much to Swordfish's horror. Fortunately, ice dragons here are just water dragons that have frozen for the winter, so it didn't actually die - it's basically like a phoenix, but as a dragon and with water instead of fire.Bonus pic: a screenshot of the real Pondhopper from when Troutfish played Istaria.
>>83805133Guess she's not fluffy after all.
>>83805165>she's not fluffynah, probably game limitations.She's gonna be a fluffmonster even as an adult.
Touch wyverns
>>83805133>>83805165>>83805273I suppose that texture could be interpreted as 'fur/feathers', but it's impossible to tell - Istaria predated the use of Normal Maps, which is really kinda wild in retrospect. I certainly don't remember things looking as flat as that screenshot, but then again, my own imagination likely did a lot of filling in back when I played decades ago.

>>83777505>tottIn case of dragons, if the goal is to maximize cuteness, then (pic)Otherwise, beak-snoot with not too many ridges. Also, the teeth must stay within the mouth when it's closed, instead of being outside, like with a crocodile.
Well?
Dragon Kisser Anon here with the progress report:Decided to go with the V2 versionRedrew Domingo to have a stance more befitting his characterReworked some minor detailsInked the whole thingI noticed last minute that Luciana has some elbow spike/feather things, I'll have to add those in. Also, her scales are quite pronounced on the back of the neck, the shoulders, and on the forehead, which I'll also have to draw. I have no experience with scales, so I'll have to figure that out. Luckily, she's rolled over, so I won't have to draw too many.Honestly, I hoped that by the end of today, I'll have the flat colors in place, so overall, I didn't progress as well as I had hoped. Nevertheless, here is the current state.
>>83805719>>83805728That sandsnorter's disregard for personal hygiene is an affront to all dragonkind
>>83804675>but they're not pulling the whole "hawk can see a mouse from over a mile away" thingnah. they'd probably be better. and by quite a lot.visual acuity has more to do with the absolute size of the eye (basically a function of light gathering capacity and retina density, but retinal cells don't USUALLY vary much in size). while it does depend on the size of their heads, dragons are pretty much always depicted with absolutely massive eyes.>you'll see them coming long before they see you.extraordinarily unlikely. a dragon eyeball the size of, say, a 220mm soccer ball, has so much light gathering capacity the dragon could potentially recognize your face from over a mile away using starlight alone. extrapolating the way your fovea and visual processing more than double the perceived focal length of your human eye, we're talking something possibly equivalent to a focal length of ~540mm for such an eye. human perceived focal length is ~54mm, for comparison, with physical focal length of ~22mm.think about the size of a small hobby telescope objective (i.e. primary aperture/mirror diameter), and how many more stars you can see with one. dragon pupils are typically much larger.funnily enough, their eyes are so large that an optically worse slit pupil might actually kinda make sense as a method to protect their enormous retinas from direct sunlight. they might mitigate the diffraction issues in other ways - say, multiple layered irises, such as a hidden horizontal iris that closes just behind the first.and if their eyes use a stacked retina like jumping spiders, they could even have monocular distance vision, using aberration to recombine visual information into distance perception. and while we're at it, since dragons are idealized, might as well invert the stupid vertebrate retina and put the blood vessels BEHIND the light-sensitive cells instead of in front, which cephalopods do.
>>83806087To be fair, scaled creatures tend not to sweat - that's a mammalian adaptation. As is such, washing probably isn't that big of a deal in the dragon world, since there's no odor and most debris doesn't stick to scales.Oral hygiene is another matter, though. Definitely needs to learn to brush his teeth, lest his mouth starts to smell as rank as Morrowseer's supposedly did.
>>83806071Damn man, you work fast.>Dragon Kisser Anonname checks out
>>83806071It's looking great so far. Nice to see any art at all for the game, honestly.
need a queer-coded villain dragon who’s actually straight (in a cool way) but still likes human men (like me)
>>83806302
>>83806173>>83806201Thank you, Anons! And I'm not that fast, I posted earlier (sketch) versions in previous threads.>>83791240Actually, y'know what? Although I'm glad someone drew her at all, I wish the first thing we get of her was either sfw, or something with Domingo, not ntr.
>>83806558>I wish the first thing we get of her was either sfw, or something with DomingoWell, strictly speaking, the first thing we (/scaly/) got of her were YOUR two sketches. They might not have been complete works at the time, but even those will find appreciation.

About ten seconds after this, she gets hit with a wave and ends up looking like a drowned rat.

>>83808859I think I know the girl who drew that
>>83810727Tell her to draw more. It's one of my favorites.Also, what' with women and being into dragons?I swear it's come up more than most any other furry/scalie species.

>>83812540Depends. What are you planning on using it for? What do you want to get out of it?
>>83805728>>83805719What the hellAnd Moon went with stinky, dirty Qibli instead of the well-groomed Winter? What is wrong with her???
>>83812743>What are you planning on using it for? What do you want to get out of it?Possibly lewd and amusing scenarios, maybe leaning male. Not so much an erper but writing stories and world-building I do enjoy.
>>83812818NTA, I vote Reticulated python naga/anthro. I like the cute faces they have.
>>83812818Just lewd, I'd go naga. Lewd AND amusing, full feral. I'd avoid anthro, since the lack of legs naturally lends itself to a plenty of fun scenarios.

And hot.
>>83812818Nagas are always cool anon.
>>83813107Going by the ending, I think she wants yet more pets.
>>83812540Nagas and vipers are a mite basic.Anthros are rare, but rare for a reason. As they tend to lose the whole point of a snake.Tsuchinkos can certainly be interesting. But they're kind of stuck to 'mascot' type characters.My vote's on the python. Pythons are always cute.
>>83813177I think that last page is actually the first page, out of order. From what I can read of it, the human girl had a bad dream, and wanted to lay with her dragon roommate for a bit. Then she decides to start petting her, which leads to the accidental orgasm when she rubs the sensitive spot at the base of her tail.
